The case as brought to Judge Jones on habeas corpus proceed ings, instituted by Wood us Kel- lum, Esq., which asked that the mayor ana chief of police be commanded to have her before the court, as the writ alleged that the girl was being illegibly and unlawfully held and restrain-d of her liberty, to await an officer fi cii i' r.yetteville w . would take I.er back f r the pur ooso of forcing her to live at a h use which is not a proper one for a gi.l of her ag" to live in. in their arswer Mayo:- Vad dtdl and Chief Willi vcrred that they were holding the g'.l, on i en uos t from ihe authorities at Fayetteville to await the arri val of an officer from that town, as h 'niio'1 who had run away from home- In the habeas corpus proceed ings, Judgf Jones had Lula Tay lor ana ? man named Williams, who the girl say. she was to mar ry, sworn and examined and oth er testimony was also. taken. After hearing all the evidence Judge Joues gave the girl the choice of oneof two courses and her decision is stated above. CIRCUS TEAIN WRECKED.
